The East River Bridge.

The promenade Of the big bridge is deserted
these hot days. In the early morning. when
Miss Liberty looms large through the haze,
clipper nurse-gIrls carrying out young babies,
parade the board walk, aud workmen choose
this the cheapest way OF getting to New
York. But when the sun gets up in the east
and glares wickedly down on the board walk
the bridge is left to the policemen, and the
bridge cars are crowded until the evening lurs
the pedestrians back.
Itis estimated that difference of between
two thousand and three thousand persons a
day has been made in the volume of travel
over the promenade since the hot spell has set
in From now on TIL the cool weather the
promenade will scarcely pay its own expense,
but the increased travel on the cable road will
make good the difference -NeW York Nav

Pope Leo's famous collection Of laces
aas received an important addition. Some
wealthy Catholics at Venice have present
I'd to him set Of lace which they have
caused to be executed at the lace schools
Of Burano. The design is copied from the
famous Rezzonico set which was made for
Clement XIII. by the Venetian nuns, and
which now forms part Of the treasure Of
the House of Savoy, and is occasionally
worn by Queen Margaret. The schools Of
Burano have three times reproduced the
pattern of this historic lace, one copy be-
Ing in the Kensington Museum, one in the
possession of the Duchess Of Hamilton, and
the third IN that of the wife of Mr.. w. W.
Aston, lately American Minister at Rome.

LONDON THIEVES.
The Bold, Yet Simple, System Adopted by
Famous Burglar.

The Bold, Yet Simple, System Adopted by
Famous Burglar.
The most careful precautions will not
| always avail against confederated
thieves directed by superior intel
ligence. Now and then the enterprise
of an erratic genius will give useful
hints to the capitalists and their lock-
smiths. One of the most remarkable
instances of the kind was that of the
chief of band of burglars arrested and
convicted about twenty years ago.
"Scottie," nG6 without much natural
pride in his professional ingenuity,
after his conviction made full confess
sion. His system, like that of most
successful schemers, was as bold as it
was simple. He set himself to
attack the padlocks which
secure those strong metal
bands of which I have spoken. To
pick them on the spot was difficult or
impossible. On the other hand, by
placing women on the watch, the fast.
enings might be tempered with in the
interval of the policeman passing on
the beat after his first satisfactory
examination. The paddock was quick
ly removed by breaking the catch OF
the hasp with a small Jimmy and
replaced by one similar in size and APP
pearance. During the night the in
tricate works were extracted, so that it
could be opened by its own or any
common key. Then the hasp was neat
ly repaired and the lock returned to its
place before the arrival of the
owners of the premises in the MORN
ing. Thus the burglars, being
masters of the situation, might enter
the place at their leisure. No
fewer than twenty-seven doors had
been so "doctored," when the gang
came to sudden grief over a grand pre-
liminary enterprise. They had been
laying siege, "unbeknown" to the pro-
prietor and the police, to the shop of a
matchmaker in Lombard street. By
their quiet method of manipulating
doors they had made their way into an
Office on the upper floor, visiting it
repeatedly without detection. Finally,
after close examination of the prem
ises. they forced their entrance into the
watchmaker's from below, and from a
tailor's shop at the side. They carried
off quantity of watches and jewelry;
but fortunately for the twenty-seven
gentlemen whose padlocks had been
tempered with, in prudence they
suspended operations after that
coup, though nevertheless they were
followed up and arrested. And to show
the cool deliberation with which they
had gone to work. "Scottie'' men
toned that, having fitted false key to
it from the first, they had been in the
habit of regularly investigating the
safe upstairs. As there was little in it
to tempt them, they waited till they
had robbed the matchmaker, when
they took their chance of what hap
pened to be in the safe and cleared it
out. Nowadays there are said to be
few regular receivers in London.

The hardest work for the poultry
man is keeping vermin out of the

By using kerosene on the roosts, re-
moving the droppings frequently and
whitewashing the walls once every
month the vermin may be prevented.
After trying the value of skinned
milk and buttermilk as food for hogs
and laying hens a New Jersey man
came to the conclusion that it is worth
much more to feed poultry. 1t keeps
them in good laying condition and is
cheap as other food. Poultry can be
kept with especial profit on dairy
farms.
Lemon sauce: Crate the yellow
rind and squeeze the juice of one
lemon; mix together, over the fire, one
ounce each of butter and sugar, until
they bubble; stir in half-pint of boil
ing water, one ounce of sugar, the
rind and juice of the lemon, and serve
in a sauce boat with the dumplings.
Do rot let the sauce boil after adding
the lemon, or it will be bitter. = Cincia-
natl Times.
AS corn is astaple crop it is usually
made staple food for hogs. When
closed in pens but very little clean,
fresh water is given them. If turned
on the growing clover they are ''ring-
ed" in order to prevent roofing. What
is necessary to prevent the epidemic
diseases in heards is to give the hogs
the same attention that is bestowed on
all other classes of stock. Because
"any thing will do for a hog" as is
supposed, is no reason for combining
the animal to single diet or with
holding green food and that which
affords a variety. The hog is not nat
urally filthy animal, and can no more
thrive in filth than can the steer, while
pure air and water are necessary.

FOND OF SWEETS.
Queer Antics of the Curious Little Sousa
African Honey Bird.

| Queer Antics of the Curious Little South
| African Honey Bird.
We came to large piece of timber
and while passing through it had my
first experience with the honey bird o.
| South Africa. This curious little bird
| is, in size and plumage, about like an
English sparrow, and gets his name
from the fact that the little fellow, who
is very fond of honey, being unable to
obtain it for himself, will lead men to
the places where the wild bees have
hidden their stores of rich, wild honey
Whenever this bird sees man he will
fly close to him, lowering around,
uttering a twittering sound; then he
will 60 off in the direction of the
place generally tree) where the
honey is, flying backward and forward,
in zigzag fashion. Then back he will
come, twittering in the same manner,
as if to say, Come along, I'll show
you where 1t is" These actions are re-
peated until the tree is reached, when
the bird will indicate it very plainly by
flying to it and lowering around it.
If the distance is great (and some
times the honey bird will lead a person
who is willing to follow, distance of
of ten miles,; he will wait on tree
until the follower comes up and will
then continue his business of plotting.
He is very persistent and will do his
best to draw any one on, but if the
party is not posted about honey birds
and refuses to follow, or goes in the
wrong direction, the bird will leave,
probably in search of some person who
will appreciate his efforts to provide
him with sweetmeats.
While the bees are being smoked out
and the honey taken up, the bird will
hover in the vicinity until the Job is
done, when, of course, his reward
comes in the shape of feast on the
fragments that are left. If he knows
of other hives, just as soon as one is
disposed of he will lead the way to an
other, and have, since this time,
known as many rs four trees to be
taken up by party in one day. When
the honey bird has shown one tree, if
the hunters are satisfied with that and
refuse to follow him further he leaves
them; but have never heard of an in
stance in which the bird misled any ono
in regard to finding honey. 1t fire.
quently happens, however, that a
honey bird will lead person into very
dangerous places, and uAless the hunt
er keeps his eyes about him when fol-
lowing this bird he may run right upon
lion, a ven ,mous snake or some other
equally undesirable acquaintance. -
